CHOP. CHOP.

Although corn chopping is done (who-ho to this mama!) its brings frowns to one particular Jersey boy in this household! Tyler LOVES to haul wagons when it comes to corn chopping. The whole process excites him! I'm told he'll be a foreman someday, as he likes to tell the workers what to do. (Stop overfilling the wagons or you need to go this way with the loads). He rides with anyone that's hauling loads and honestly, I think he got to ride with everyone that helped. He chatted their ears off about farm work, what pre-school is like and what he is going to be for Halloween (Batman!). AND...he made a new friend with the bagger guy, Marvin. Marvin would give Tyler a quarter after each day and Tyler just thought that was the coolest thing ever. He happily reports, "Marvin is my friend, mom!"
As far as the lil' Jersey girl, she was a no go on hauling wagons this time. I think she'd be willing, but this mama just felt she is too young. She loved bringing the hardworking men their lunches, flashing her pretty smile and wavin' to the boys passing by hauling wagons...and while everyone was busy with the chopping, she got to help dad with chores one night and she thought that was al-right!
Ty passed out minutes after a shower one night when he hauled wagons all day long! "I'm not tired," he reported. "Please, can I watch a movie." And, so I let him, and literally 60 seconds later, he was out for the count!
Meanwhile, Cassie takes over Tyler's role of helping Scott on the skid loader! Cassie happily reports, "lots of cow poop daddy!" Yes, there is!
